Valdespino Tio Diego Amontillado
In stock
Valdespino Tio Diego Amontillado is a dry sherry from the D.O. Jerez-Xérès-Sherry in Andalusia, produced by Bodegas Valdespino in Jerez de la Frontera. At Drankenshop Broekmans, this is the kind of amontillado we like to introduce when someone wants a sherry with a clear sense of origin and maturation, rather than just a broad dry and nutty profile.
Its identity is closely linked to Pago de Macharnudo Alto, specifically Viña Valdespino. The wine is made from 100% Palomino Fino grown on albariza, the white calcareous soil highlighted in the producer's information. The grapes are hand harvested, and fermentation takes place in American oak botas following Valdespino's traditional approach.
Tio Diego has a long two-stage maturation. It (…)Domecq Fino

Domecq Medium Dry
In stock
Domecq Medium Dry is a Spanish sherry from Domecq, positioned in the middle ground between dry and overtly sweet styles. The name is quite revealing: this is a Medium Dry sherry, so it is not presented as a sharply dry expression, nor as a richly sweet one.

At 15% alcohol, it clearly sits within the fortified wine category, while the available product data does not give further detail on ageing, grape varieties or specific aromatic notes.
No detailed tasting notes are provided for Domecq Medium Dry. From the product name, it can be described as a Medium Dry sherry: a medium-dry style sitting between dry and clearly sweet.

At Drankenshop Broekmans, a bottle like this sits among the more deliberate choices in the sherry range. The Cardenal name and the VORS mention give it a traditional, serious feel, without needing to dress it up with unnecessary claims.

Valdespino Cardenal Palo Cortado Vors 50cl
In stock
Valdespino Cardenal Palo Cortado VORS is a very old, dry sherry from Jerez de la Frontera, made for slow tasting rather than casual pouring. Under sherry regulations, VORS indicates a certified average age of more than 30 years; for Cardenal, Valdespino itself states an average age of over 50 years. That long maturation is central to the identity of the wine.
Its origin is clearly defined. Cardenal is made from 100% Palomino Fino and is linked to the Macharnudo Alto vineyard, a Jerez pago with albariza soil and old vines of around 50 years. It begins with a short period of biological ageing, then develops mainly through oxidative ageing in the criaderas and solera system. The structure consists of four criaderas and one solera, with only seven botas available for this (…)Valdespino Coliseo Amontillado 37,5cl

Valdespino Coliseo Amontillado 50cl
In stock
Valdespino Coliseo Amontillado VORS is a very old dry amontillado sherry from the Jerez-Xérès-Sherry region of Andalusia. As part of Valdespino's VORS collection, Very Old Rare Sherry, Coliseo sits firmly in the world of deep, concentrated and saline sherry rather than light aperitif styles. It is made from 100% Palomino Fino and has undergone both biological and oxidative ageing.
The most striking detail is the age and scale of the solera behind it. The soleras date back to the end of the 19th century, and the technical information states that the solera consists of only five casks. That is exactly why, at Drankenshop Broekmans, Coliseo is presented as a sherry for quiet attention: dry, intense and shaped by long maturation.

Valdespino Contrabandista Amontillado
In stock
Valdespino Contrabandista Amontillado is a medium dry sherry from Jerez, shaped by the contrast between mature Amontillado and a small addition of Pedro Ximénez. The result keeps the nutty, lightly oxidative identity of Amontillado, but with a softer and more rounded edge than a fully dry style.
Its base is Palomino Fino, fermented dry and first aged biologically under flor. The wine is then fortified further to 18%, the flor disappears, and maturation continues oxidatively in the Amontillado solera system. A measured proportion of Pedro Ximénez is blended in afterwards to create the medium dry character. With an average age of 15 years, Contrabandista has enough maturity for its Amontillado side to come through clearly.
The name refers to the (…)Valdespino Cream Isabela

Valdespino Cream Isabela
In stock
Valdespino Cream Isabela is a sweet cream sherry from Jerez de la Frontera in Andalusia. Its foundation is an old Oloroso from Valdespino, softened and enriched with Pedro Ximénez, giving the wine a style that brings together oxidative depth and concentrated sweetness.
Time is an important part of its story. The blend has an average age of 15 years and, after blending, spends a further 5 years in its own solera so the Oloroso and Pedro Ximénez can integrate more fully. That extra maturation helps explain why Isabela feels more composed than a simple sweet sherry: it is rich, dark and rounded, yet still clearly rooted in the traditional cream sherry style.
At Drankenshop Broekmans, we see this Valdespino as a fine choice for anyone looking for a (…)Valdespino De Su Majestad Oloroso Vors 37,5cl

Valdespino De Su Majestad Oloroso VORS is the kind of sherry that asks for a little time in the glass. It comes from Jerez de la Frontera in Andalusia and carries the VORS classification, reserved for sherries with an average age of more than 30 years. In this case, Valdespino states that the wine is over 50 years old.
Made from 100% Palomino Fino and linked to Pago Carrascal, one of the classic pagos of the sherry region, this is an oxidatively aged oloroso matured through the solera and criadera system. The solera itself is notably small, made up of just eight casks, giving the wine a sense of concentration and old-bodega depth rather than everyday sherry familiarity.

Valdespino Inocente En Rama Single Vineyard Macharnudo Alto is a fino sherry with a very clear sense of origin. It comes from Viña Valdespino in the Pago Macharnudo Alto, near Jerez de la Frontera, and is made entirely from Palomino Fino grown on albariza soils rich in calcium carbonate. The vineyard is not just background here; it is part of the identity of the wine.
Valdespino keeps close to a traditional way of working. The grapes are harvested by hand, fermentation takes place in American oak botas, and the wine is then fortified to 15% before ageing biologically under flor. The solera is more than a century old and consists of ten criaderas, with an average wine age of around ten years.

Valdespino Inocente Fino 37.5cl is a dry fino sherry from Jerez with a strong sense of origin. Its grapes come from Viña Valdespino in Pago Macharnudo Alto, a historically valued vineyard area near Jerez, planted on white, chalk-rich albariza soil. That single-vineyard background gives Inocente a particularly defined place within fino sherry.
Made from 100% hand-harvested Palomino Fino, it is fermented, according to producer information, in American oak casks before ageing biologically under flor. The solera is more than a century old and consists of ten criaderas and one solera, with an average wine age of around 10 years. With residual sugar below 1 g/l, this is a firmly dry fino with structure and a distinctly gastronomic edge.

Valdespino Inocente Rama 1.5l is a Fino from Jerez de la Frontera with a very specific sense of selection. For this bottling, winemaker Victoria Frutos and warehouse manager José Luis Monje chose particular casks from the solera layer of Inocente, the lowest and final stage where the wines continue to mature.
It is a fully biologically aged sherry, marked by the bone-dry, mineral character that defines this style so clearly. The grapes come from Macharnudo Alto, described as the pinnacle of the region, and from a single vineyard. That gives the wine a strong connection to place rather than just a general sherry profile.

Valdespino La Especiale Manzanilla 2016 is part of the vintage Manzanilla collection Valdespino began with the 2015 release. As the second release in that series, it focuses on a small group of casks selected for finesse and elegance during the first stage of biological ageing, when the flor was in full development.
Its origin is especially important. The wine comes exclusively from Pago de Miraflores, described as the Grand Cru of Sanlúcar de Barrameda. For this vintage, 30 casks were sealed in line with the Sanlúcar Regulatory Council's requirements for vintage wines. From those, a selection committee chose 12 casks for their refined, intense and elegant character. They were then blended and bottled in April 2024 as a batch of 6,060 bottles.

Valdespino Manzanilla Deliciosa is a dry manzanilla sherry from Sanlúcar de Barrameda, offered here in the practical 37.5 cl half bottle. It shows sherry in a fresh, coastal style: pale, dry and shaped by biological ageing under flor rather than by a heavier oxidative profile.
The Palomino Fino grapes come from Pago de Miraflores, a coastal vineyard near Sanlúcar, close to the Guadalquivir estuary and the Atlantic Ocean. After fermentation, the base wine is fortified to 15% and aged under flor in a solera and criaderas system, with an average ageing of five years in Bodega Misericordia in the Barrio Alto of Sanlúcar de Barrameda.

Frequently asked questions
Answers to the most frequently asked questions about cognac
What is cognac?
Cognac is a French brandy made from white grapes and may only come from the Cognac region in France. It is double-distilled and then aged in oak barrels.
What is armagnac?
Armagnac comes from the Armagnac region, also in south-western France. Armagnac production began in the 14th century, making it the oldest brandy in France.
Like Cognac, Armagnac is made from white grapes, but here different grape varieties are often used, such as Folle Blanche, Colombard and Baco Blanc. The main difference is in the distillation process: Armagnac is distilled in a continuous distillation column, resulting in a richer and more complex eau-de-vie with a higher alcohol content. After distillation, Armagnac matures in oak barrels. Armagnac is thus distilled once unlike cognac which is distilled twice at a lower temperature and has a higher alcohol content.
Armagnac has a more robust and powerful flavour profile than Cognac, with pronounced notes of dried fruits, plums, vanilla, and leather. Due to the single distillation, it retains more of the original grape flavours.
What is calvados?
Calvados originates from the region of Normandy in northern France. It has a long history dating back to the 16th century, and it is often considered a symbol of Norman culture.
Calvados is made from apples (and sometimes pears), unlike grapes for Cognac and Armagnac. The apples are pressed to make cider, which is then distilled. Distillation can take place once or twice, depending on the appellation. As with the other two drinks, the eau-de-vie then matures in oak barrels.
Calvados has a fresh and fruity character, with distinct apple and sometimes pear-like notes. After ageing, more complex flavours can develop, such as butterscotch, spices and nuts.
What is brandy?
Brandy is the general collective name for cognac, armagnac and calvados, among others. All three are French spirits, but the main differences are seen geographically and in the use of raw materials.
What is sherry?
Sherry is a fortified wine from southern Spain, more specifically around the city of Jerez de la Frontera in the region of Andalusia. The special feature of sherry is that wine alcohol is added during or after fermentation, increasing the alcohol content (usually around 15-20%) and also making the wine last longer.
There are different styles of sherry, each with its own character. Fino, for example, is light, dry and fresh (often with hints of almond and bread dough), while Oloroso is just richer, darker and nutty due to oxidative ageing. Amontillado is a bit in between: fresh under flor at first, then more complex through oxidation. On the sweet side, you have, for example, Pedro Ximénez (PX), an intensely sweet, syrupy sherry with flavours of sultanas and caramel.
Sherry is often underrated, but it is enormously versatile: from a fresh aperitif to a perfect companion with tapas, cheeses or even desserts. So it is not an "old people's drink", but just one of the most diverse and gourmet wine styles around.
What is Pineau Des Charentes?
Pineau des Charentes is a fortified wine from the Charente region in southwestern France, the same area known for its cognac production. It is not a wine in the traditional sense, but a mistelle-adrink made by mixing fresh grape juice with cognac. This combination stops fermentation, preserving the natural sweetness of the grape juice and giving the drink its distinctive sweet, rich and aromatic profile.
Pineau des Charentes is available in both white and red varieties. White Pineau is made from white grape varieties such as Ugni Blanc, Colombard and Folle Blanche, while the red variant derives its deep colour and fruity aromas from grapes such as Merlot and Cabernet Franc. It has a unique flavour that is not directly comparable to other drinks, but it does share characteristics with some well-known fortified wines:
- Port: Like port, Pineau is sweet and fortified, but Pineau tends to be lighter and fruitier.
- Sherry (Pedro Ximénez or Amontillado): White Pineau sometimes has the honeyed sweetness of PX sherry, but with a fresher touch.
- Madeira: Due to aging in oak, Pineau shares certain nutty and caramel-like notes with madeira.
- Muscat de Beaumes-de-Venise: For those who like sweet dessert wines with floral and fruity aromas, Pineau is an excellent alternative.
What do VS, VSOP and XO mean?
These are age indications for the youngest eau-de-vie in the blend. The older, the more complex and softer the flavour usually becomes.
-
VS (Very Special): aged for a minimum of 2 years
-
VSOP (Very Superior Old Pale): aged for a minimum of 4 years
-
XO (Extra Old): aged for a minimum of 10 years (used to be 6 years)
These age designations are officially regulated by the appellation. This is not the case with rum, for example, in most cases.
What is the difference between cognac, brandy, armagnac and calvados?
Brandy is the general collective name for cognac, armagnac and calvados, among others. All three are French spirits, but the main differences are seen geographically and in the use of raw materials.
Cognac must come from the Cognac region and be made from specific grapes. Armagnac, in turn, comes from the Armagnac region in south-western France and is also made from grapes. Finally, Calvados comes from the Calvados region in Normandy and, unlike the other two, is made from apples and pears.
There are also differences in terms of distillation and maturation: Cognac uses double distillation in alambics, Armagnac a single continuous distillation, and Calvados can undergo both single and double distillation. Cognac and Calvados must be aged for a minimum of two years, while for Armagnac it is at least one year.
How do you drink cognac?
There are several ways to enjoy cognac. Traditionally, it is drunk at room temperature from a tulip-shaped glass such as a snifter. With an ice cube, the aromas become less heavy and even in cocktails, cognac is on the rise.
Does cognac get even better in the bottle?
No, like most spirits, cognac also matures solely in the barrel. Once the cognac is bottled, the ageing also stops. So an old bottle of cognac does not automatically improve with age.
How long can an opened bottle of cognac keep?
An opened bottle of cognac undergoes the same process as other spirits. Usually, you can keep an opened bottle for a very long time, up to several years. But cognac can also be subject to oxidation, a natural process that is started and intensified as soon as there is too much air/oxygen in the bottle in relation to the spirit. To avoid this, it is best to transfer the cognac into a smaller, airtight bottle or fill the bottle with marbles to reduce the proportion of air in the bottle. Never use glass decanters with glass stoppers, as these do not seal airtight and therefore do not prevent the oxidation process.
Which grapes are used for cognac?
The main grape variety is Ugni Blanc. This is by far the most commonly used grape variety for cognac, and produces a fresh, acidic wine that is ideal for distilling. In addition, cognac can also be made from the Folle Blanche and Colombard grape varieties.
Where can I buy cognac?
You can even buy cognac in supermarkets these days. But if you are looking for a good cognac, one that is tasty, qualitative and layered, then Drankenshop Broekmans is the place to be. In our range, you will find more than 200 different cognacs in all possible price categories, from a basic "everyday cognac" to the most exclusive eau-de-vie.
